Hi everyone....
So.... Basically the title described this post. So, my I play tennis. My dad signed me up for a match that I played in today. I won, so I have to play tommorrow too.
My dad made a deal with me, before the match, and told me that if I won the entire tournament, he would get us a dog ,breed of my choice. I think I played a lot better since I had a motivation to win (having a dog has been my lifelong dream:). I won today against a younger player, who was okay, but not very good.
I'm playing the number one player tommorrow. I play really well during practice, but during matches I get incredibly nervous and can never stay focused. I always think that i'm going to loose and have to get another lecture from my parents. I always tense up and think I can't win. I just can't really help it.
Does anyone have any tips to help stay relaxed during a match, and help stay concentrated?
